I have been wearing progressive bifocals for several years
now. I have never had anyone reject a style of frames because
they wouldn't work with bifocals. Of course, you don't want
them too skinny. I have a weird nose too. Just try on lots
of frames, and maybe try a different glasses store. I got two
pairs at Costco last year and was very pleased. NOTE: give
yourself at least two weeks, wearing the progressives full
time, before you give up on them. It takes at least that long
to get used to them.
